Chapter 649: Forcing the Emperor to Take the Throne
But if the old man condones it, what does that mean?
The butler signed the contract in the end, and the servants behind him followed suit.
The servants who signed were asked to leave first, and the only ones left were the dealer's own people.
Zhuang Zhoucheng said the third requirement was very simple: the second branch had to get out of the banker's house and not show up in the banker's house. The deadline was this weekend.
The old man said coldly:
"Are you going to kick out an old man like me as well?"
"Father, if you want to live in a different environment, my eldest brother and his family have no objection, and naturally I have no objection either."
The old man was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, father, just tell me directly." Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't have the patience to waste time on this point.
The Second House didn't say anything, but Zhuang Jinse spoke first on behalf of the Second House:
"I agree that the Second Branch family should move out of the Zhuang family. However, Third Master, are you sure you want to settle down in the capital and live in the old house from now on?"
It would be fine if the old man had them and his wife with him. At least he wouldn't be left alone guarding a building, right?
The elderly need someone to look after them. No matter how healthy they are, they should not be neglected. Old people cannot say anything for sure.
Zhuang Zhoucheng said after a long while:
"Once you have a family, you will naturally live in the Zhuang family."
Zhuang Jinse had no objection. Since the old man had his favorite son by his side, what else could she say?
The old man sat very still and didn't respond immediately, probably because he remembered the friendship they had maintained over the years.
After stating the three requests, Zhuang Zhoucheng immediately talked about the focus of his trip today.
"My purpose today is first and foremost to make the decision for my wife. I hope those here who have the ability to stop it will refrain from interfering."
As Zhuang Zhoucheng finished speaking, the door of the cinema opened and Jiang Zhen was pushed in by someone. Her hands were handcuffed behind her back, her mouth was covered with tape, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were red from crying.
When they were brought to the front of the theater, Zhuang Jinhuan immediately stood up and yelled:
"Zhenzhen..."
"mom……"
Jiang Ke quickly pulled her mother back and asked, "Didn't you see what was hanging on those people?"
Gun!
"Old man, you've agreed to all my requests, but you still won't let this kid go?" the old man said angrily.
He could actually attack a child?
"Child? Old Master, have you forgotten that this so-called ignorant child of yours strangled my child with her own hands yesterday? The baby wasn't even born yet, and it's gone. Killing my child, I was merciful by not taking her life right away!"
Zhuang Zhoucheng's voice grew louder and louder, his anger was evident, and his expression was slightly distorted.
Zhuang Zhoucheng suddenly closed his eyes, clenched his large palms that were supporting the table into fists, and fiercely suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
After a long while, he calmed down and said in a low voice:
"I brought her here to tell you all that I will prosecute this arrogant and disrespectful person and send her to prison for five years. The hospital has accepted her case for intentional injury and she will be detained effective immediately. No one is allowed to visit her during her sentence."
Zhuang Zhoucheng flipped through the documents in his hand, glanced at them, and looked at the audience with a cold gaze:
"I have said all I have to say about this matter."
He waved his hand, and Jiang Zhen in front was dragged out again.
Madam Xiang and Zhuang Jinhuan both stood up.
Zhuang Jinhuan chased for a few steps, then turned back and scolded Jiang Wanli again. How could he sit still when his daughter was in trouble?
The old man turned around and said angrily:
"Sit down for me!"
Today he wants to see what the old man and the young man are up to.
Zhuang Zhoucheng said the last point very calmly, looking only at the old man:
"Father, you are old. The position of head of the family will be announced today. I have already drafted the contract."
Zhuang Zhoucheng turned sideways, and the door of the cinema was pushed open again. Two law enforcement officers and a lawyer arrived at the scene.
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at the few people and briefly introduced them:
"These two are notaries I hired from the notary office. Everyone knows the one on the left, right? He's the Zhuang family's family lawyer."
As long as it is signed in front of a notary, it will be legally effective.
Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at Zhuang Jinzhao indifferently, his voice calm and indifferent:
"Father, all you need to do is fill in the blank for the heir to the family head with the name of the person you want, and sign your name. That's all for today."
It's very simple, there are indeed only these two purposes.
Avenge my wife, and moreover, secure the position of mistress for her.
From now on, who would dare to disrespect the mistress of his village?
Zhuang Jinzhao stood up and shouted angrily:
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
Zhuang Zhoucheng immediately spoke out:
"Brother, don't be so anxious to leave. Or do you want to let the banker continue like this? Without someone in charge, you know better than anyone that there can be no order without rules. It's time for someone to take charge of the banker, don't you think?"
Zhuang Jinzhao said angrily:
"Father is still alive, Third Brother, aren't you being too hasty by doing this?"
"It is precisely because my father is still alive that I want to take over the bank from him. I want to prevent those businesses in my father's hands from being taken over by villains."
Zhuang Zhoucheng spoke slowly, word by word, his cold and indifferent aura was very oppressive.
The people from the second house and the generations beyond the branch take it for granted that they become parasites in the company. Isn't it because some of the old man's businesses are unclear?
Zhuang Zhoucheng was in charge of the matter, but the several acting chairmen he hired each had their own account and presented another account to him.
Not to mention other shops, just take the two hotels as an example. Their business is so booming, but the accounts presented to him show that they are losing money every month, not to mention how much profit they make. Every month, he has to set aside a large sum of money to fill those holes.
There's something fishy going on here. He really wants to get rid of those corrupt officials, but he's restricted by his status.
In the banker's family, he did have the rights of the head of the family, but the old man had not formally handed over the power to him.
There is no clear statement about who will be the boss of the bank.
He could understand the old man's desire to give up power but not wanting to.
But the old man has been at the pinnacle of power all his life and has had enough of it. Now that he has only a little power as a banker, he should stop clinging to it and just enjoy his old age.
In two or three years, when your grandchildren are born, you can hug them at home and play with your great-grandchildren. What’s not to like?
Zhuang Jinzhao was choked and said in a deep voice:
"Isn't the power my father has given you enough? Do you really need my father to personally promise to give you the position of head of the family?"
"Brother, do you think the banker is in excellent condition right now?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng immediately asked Lu Zeng to hand over the information he had prepared long ago to Zhuang Jinzhao and the old man for review.
"Just look at how much the two hotels, shops, and various businesses have lost over the past ten years."
Zhuang Jinzhao didn't know how much profit the family business made, but just looking at those two hotels, it would definitely not be at a loss.
"Loss?"
Even the first wife didn't believe it and stood up to look at the financial statements in her husband's hand.
Perhaps considering that readers may not understand professional data, simple tree diagrams and tabular analysis are clearly listed, and the profit and loss of each month are clearly stated on them.
Over the past decade or so, the total amount of losses is truly terrifying.
Really, there is not a single profitable month!
"It's impossible to lose..."
The eldest wife shook her head, undoubtedly not believing it, and suspected that the third wife had done something wrong.
Or, the third brother took the profits away.
"There's something going on here, Third Brother. Father will hand over the family business to you. Now..."
Zhuang Zhoucheng calmly changed Zhuang Jinzhao's words:
"Dad doesn't seem to have given me real power. I'm not the head of the family, so there are many things I can't do. I'm only responsible for routine inspections, and this group of people is obviously just a routine matter. If we're not sure about the head of the family now, and if things remain ambiguous, I'm afraid the family business will be swallowed up bit by bit. By then, I won't be obligated to support everyone in the family!"
Money is invested in the family business every quarter, and it is not a small amount.
Is he stupid?
He just didn't want to see his father's hard work go to waste.
The eldest wife suddenly sneered and said sarcastically:
"Uncle, by saying this, aren't you just forcing your father-in-law to let you be the head of the family? Don't forget, your eldest brother is not dead yet!"
"Sister-in-law, do you think my brother can handle the banker's business? Does he understand business management? Does he understand financial analysis and strategic decision-making? To shoulder this responsibility, don't just focus on the benefits; you also need to consider whether you have the ability to do it!"
Zhuang Zhoucheng immediately suppressed the eldest lady's words, and his imposing manner did not allow anyone to resist.
The eldest wife's face turned pale after being rebuked. The third brother was planning to use force, like a robber, he was planning to rob openly!
"Jin Zhao, please say something!" The eldest wife was anxious.
Even if not for themselves, they should think about their son. Are they just going to watch the Zhuang family's property fall into the hands of the third son?
Zhuang Jinzhao remained silent. Although the third brother currently held the power of the head of the family, his father had not given him clear instructions. Therefore, the third brother and his eldest brother were on equal footing.
But if his father really handed over the throne to the third son, where would his face be?
But if he was asked to take over as the banker, what the third brother said made sense, and he really couldn't do anything about it.
The housekeeper is incompetent, and the management company is even more incompetent. If the banker is handed over to him, it is doomed to failure.
Zhuang Zhoucheng kindly suggested:
"Big brother and sister-in-law have no children, yet they treat Wuwei as their own. Why don't you just adopt him as your own, so that he can inherit your father's business and let Wuwei take over?"
Everyone was stunned again.
Ji Wuwei?
